Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision that reversed the trial court's acquittal. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants in the murder of the deceased Kuruva Naganna, who was assaulted due to a dispute over property. The Court emphasized that the High Court's assessment of the evidence was justified and did not constitute a mere difference of opinion with the trial court.
